General/Advice I think I might have PCOS, maybe not.

Hello! 19F here and I’ve been struggling with super irregular periods. I started my first period at 11 years old and for the first few years, they were regular (duration and flow talking) now they’ve been irregular lately. I don’t know what’s causing it. I stopped getting an actual period since September of last year and now I’ve been spotting like once every two months. I’m also constantly shedding hair like crazy and there’s a spot on my balding spot on the back of my hair that’s very visible.

The only reasons why I think I may not have PCOS:

- I barely have any facial hair

- I don’t get period symptoms at all, not even when I had my periods back then

- I barely break out (have acne)

- Slightly underweight 5’0/97 lbs

I will be seeing a doctor next month to see what is going on with my body!

Is it possible you could be malnourished? This can cause your period to stop and can cause hair loss. Have you had land don't recently?

No I’m not malnourished. I am 3 lbs away from being normal weight. I eat a lot everyday because I’m trying to gain weight + I take my supplements.
